Bids you can't possibly win.
The big platforms blast every invitation to a dozen subs. Your estimator competes with the field. Margins compress until there is nothing left to win.
For specialty subcontractors
Three subs per bid, capped. Scopes you can actually price. Payment history disclosed before you commit a single hour. Free for subs — the general contractor pays us.
The premise
Twenty-five subs per bid. Twelve-percent win rate.
The math has never worked.
What's broken
The big platforms blast every invitation to a dozen subs. Your estimator competes with the field. Margins compress until there is nothing left to win.
Half-finished drawings. No budget range. No committed start date. Your team guesses, bids, loses — and never learns why.
PlanHub, BuildingConnected, ConstructConnect, bundle creep. Five figures a year. Nobody on the other side has anything to lose.
Five promises, in writing
Every match publishes its competition count before you commit a minute. Pilot subs average a thirty-four percent lift over their prior baseline.
Full construction documents, a real budget range, a committed start date — or your bid time is refunded.
Average days-to-pay, lien history, dispute rate. Before you bid, not after the loss.
No subscription, no per-bid fee, no bundle. Cancel the rest on the day you join.
Ex-estimator or ex-preconstruction. They know your bond, your geography, your target GCs.
How it works
Four fields, sixty seconds. No card.
Send your last twenty bids — redacted is fine. A written report comes back in forty-eight hours. Yours to keep.
Five curated matches. Three subs per bid, capped. Typical pilot lands one to two wins.
Dashboard tracks win rate, hours saved, dollars won. Quarterly review with the founder.
From the field
We cancelled PlanHub two weeks into the pilot. Our chief estimator got twenty-two hours a month back. Win rate moved from eleven to eighteen.
Every bid I see has full plans and a real start date. I bid fewer jobs and win more of them. The owner sleeps better.
Knowing every GC was payment-history vetted is the part that changed how we plan the year. We haven't been ghosted once.
